It has a significant ethnic and cultural diversity (inhabitants of Molo represents the 42 tribes of Kenya). The farms in the area are so rich in resources that they can not only feed many people in Kenya, but also the neighbor countries such as Uganda, Tanzania, South Sudan or Ethiopia.

Many people left their farms and relocated to Molo.
